283: Peak Pleasure- How to Achieve Flow in the Bedroom with Dr. Emily Jamea

In this episode of The Better Sex Podcast, host Jessa Zimmerman speaks with couples and sex therapist Dr. Emily Jamea about her new book, 'Anatomy of Desire: Five Secrets to Create Connection and Cultivate Passion.' They discuss the concept of achieving a flow state during sex, which involves being so fully absorbed in the moment that time seems to disappear and there's a profound connection with one's partner. Emily shares insights from her research, including the importance of curiosity, adapting to life's challenges, and maintaining emotional intimacy. She also emphasizes that this state is accessible to everyone, regardless of age or physical condition, as long as both partners are equally committed. Additionally, the episode covers practices for individuals to explore their own sexuality and ways to integrate small, novel changes to enhance sexual experiences.00:00 Introduction to Better Sex00:52 Meet Emily Jamea: Author and Sex Therapist01:03 Exploring the Concept of Flow in Sex01:54 The Anatomy of Desire: Five Secrets04:37 Research Findings on Flow and Sexual Satisfaction06:38 Practical Tips for Achieving Flow State09:16 The Role of Emotional Intimacy and Vulnerability12:26 Flow State Beyond the Honeymoon Phase22:52 Applying Flow State Principles to Self-Pleasure26:00 Conclusion and Where to Find MoreTake the quiz at https://www.sexlifequiz.comBio:Dr. Emily Jamea is an award-winning sex and relationship therapist and USA Today best-selling author of Anatomy of Desire: Five Secrets to Create Connection and Cultivate Passion.
